My middle daughter turns 17 today.
When she was born, she looked like a shar-pei. All muscles and skin... hardly a bit of baby fat on the kid. You could use her as an anatomy model- all these wonderful strong little muscles. Her head was shaped like Gumby's... remember him? His head was triangular. She apparently came out of the birth canal doing a wonderful spiral dive, twisting as she emerged. ouch. She was bare bald, which showed off the gumby head to full advantage for a week. She didn't have enough hair for a barrette until she was 2!
Now she's 17. 5'11", a head full of spiral curls showering down to the middle of her back. Still muscular as heck- she's a varsity athlete. Smart as heck- 3 AP classes in her junior year.
I am one lucky mom!!!
oh yeah, the other 2 kids are wonderful and beautiful as well- but it's just not their birthday  | |

1607 points | of course they'll get entries, assuming they don't royally piss me off on the day i'm journaling 
but, ok... the eldest, at 20, is both a full-time student at the university and full-time assistant manager at a local clothing retailer. she stays on top of all the trends and makes sure i'm not dressed like a refugee. She was my first- born beautiful... none of this gumby head stuff with her. she was the first baby i knew that DIDN'T look a think like winston churchill. 
the youngest, my son, is a 6'4" tall 15-year-old. a poster child for geekdom and likely to be the next 40 year old virgin, he is also the MOST loving and MOST caring person i know. Straight A's this year (freshman) and top scoring forward on the JV soccer team... but i have to pay him to shower (maybe it's a normal teen boy thing but phew!). in his hospital infant picture, barely born, he already had his fingers in his ears... i think he already knew he had 2 sisters!
now i'm covered! |
